What is 24FPS?
FPS is the abbreviation of frames per second. It
is the unit by which the frame rates are
measured. Number of still images shuffled through
in one second creating an illusion of the motion
is called FPS. Smoother motion is perceived when
the frequency of the frame rate is higher. MAAC
24 FPS is an open platform where studios,
students and professionals across the web get to
showcase their talents. It is the platform where
each work of the participants stands out from one
another demonstrating their individual skill
sets. 24 FPS is a unique forum in which film
making is achieved by using live-action, 3D
animation, and visual effects (VFX). It is the
most prestigious international Award Ceremony for
the animation and visual effects (VFX) sect
throughout the Indian subcontinent and beyond.

achieve a piece that is unique and last but not
the least, working under immense pressure to meet
the deadlines.

To sum up, during MAAC 24FPS is the time when our
mentors provide the students with the feeling of
working in a professional environment
production-house-like surroundings, which enables
them to perform in a production house in
reality. The jury members constitute a group of
accomplished industry professionals who assess
and evaluate the compositions of the students and
determine their best works. The grand
event of 24FPS is organized by MAAC in
affiliation with the United Nations Information
Centre (UNIC).

MAAC Chowringhee and MAAC Ultadanga participated
in Digital Film Making (DFM) and VFX Challenge
respectively whereas MAAC Rashbehari participated
in Script to Screen. The theme for the Script to
Screen and the video clips for 3D Challenge and
VFX Challenge is declared six months prior to the
date of final submission. Primarily, the
participating team has to select the video clip
and the theme on which they would be working
on. In this event 24FPS students along with their
mentors start planning on how they would execute
the project from the very first day of receiving
the project challenge. A team of 15 members is
selected at each center. These 6 months appear to
be very crucial and challenging for the
participating teams. Students with dedication and
commitment perform throughout the day and night
in order to achieve the given deadlines. Mentors
channelize their projects and coordinate with
their respective teams accordingly. After
numerous sleepless nights of rigorous hard work
students submit their final project on
time. Single Set Category (SSC), as mentioned
above is another category in which any student
can participate among a set of sub-categories
such as, Modelling Texturing, Matte Painting,
DFM, Multimedia, Compositing, etc. In this
category students can take part in one or more
than any of the categories. Post completion of
the projects, what all the participants look
forward to, is the award ceremony evening where
the final results are revealed. We are extremely
delighted to share that MAAC Kolkata has come out
victorious in 24FPS Challenge 2023.
